I have widespread OA which includes my neck and I also have a detached disc in my neck. I was referred to a Neurosurgeon who refused to operate as there was, in his opinion, too great a risk of paralysis. I have a soft cervical collar and am on Morphine. Don't get worried at this stage as everyone is different.
